Hi Alphonso, I owned the car in the picture between 1973 and 1975. It was my first TVR and a big step up from an MG Midget. Sold it for £800 and made a profit. Sadly I don't have the chassis number.

Brilliant thanks Rocket, is it possible to find the chassis number somehow?

Rocket was the dark grey the original colour as far as you can remember- bearing in mind it was only 5 years old when you had it?

So far there are 63 identified cars (confirmed in existence) out of 95 chassis numbers found. So about 2/3 of the original production still exists.

With thanks to those who have dug in their archives and been good enough to provide information to date....

Thanks Chris yes it’s on, was possibly black & yellow at one time and it’s been a V8 a long while.

Very nice car but by the looks of it it’ll need some work…

If there are any Dutch Tuscan owners on here, or indeed anyone that knows a Dutch owner - please get in contact !

We have had no success with any replies from TVRCC Holland so have we very little detail on the cars there, and conversely have history information on UK cars that have ‘disappeared’ so we can hopefully link them up. All other international TVRCC’s have been very helpful indeed.

Sadly a few nice Tuscan's and Tuscan 'replica's' have been sold... most go to Germany.
One very nice one is there for sale, I was looking of maybe getting it back to the Netherlands, but Germany still has coshowst rules, meaning if I go there (only 105km or so from my house) I have to show a negative test and or must have a coshowst vacs pasport... I'm healty, but I will not bow for tests, masks, let alone gentherapievacs, so I pass for now, although they offered me to bring the car if I bought it, but I want to see and test it first.

and no, I don't bow with my principles for false god's, or lots of money or the best cars or whatever, I will not bow/surrender to those criminal government/'rulers'

Also I have no spare garage and can't get another car on my ground, no driveway...
but...all is not said, they offer me other help to help like more pictures (but already had plenty of that car from over the years it was ready) or life video, but ofcourse the drive and feeling and seeing it personal etc, is another thing.

I could rent a garage elsewhere as long as my other car is not sold, but renting a garage is not cheap, but you never know how things go, stupid plan-demic (false flag stshow to take over)

I’m still having no luck at all getting a response from TVRCC there !!

Esper van Heesewijk or Jos Wymeersch are the biggest Dutch TVR guys I know, they would be good to reach out too and the are/were on PH.
Going through some of my late Dad's Slaes Ledgers from the 1970s I have found a coupe of TVR Tuscans that the sold.
The details show date of purchase, seller name and address, registration, chassis number, engine number, registered too name and address, buyers name and address, slae date, purchase price and sale price.
Would any of those be of interest for your register?

Nice find Rene!

I wonder if this is a Barnet Motors car. The 2500, GLK 407J is believed to be.

Indeed good news, I wonder how many are on the road, how many are 'good' but unused of the road hidden in some garage?

Sadly those outside UK can be hard to find back, some are far far away from the UK.

Lately so few come online for sale, also very few Vixen's you still see many Taimar/3000M/2500M but Tuscan V6 maybe one per year popping up.

Also some V6 are swapped for a V8

But how many are really gone, scrapped no paperwork or so left, being GRP most are still there I guess, maybe 5-8% really gone never to be seen again (guess)?

Sold at auction today, circa £12,500 inc buyers premium etc. An absolute bargain although still a total rebuild and hopefully we’ll see it on the road again.

The seller probably saw no much more than £10,500 and IMO proves again how poor auctions are for realising a true value.

sounds like a bargain, and its not in a really bad state, looks 'compleet' as well.

ok to get it like new will cost also a lot, but then I guess it could be a 50-60k car? with more in the future, it will not get less with just 101 or so made.

Looks very original, and very similar cost to a Vixen to restore but with added rarity and value. And power!
